4 6 SOLUTIONS FOR FLAT/HIGH-ARCHED FEET SOLUTIONS FOR SENSITIVE FEET 7 ErgoPad Soft GloboTec Soft Diabetes The ErgoPad Soft foot orthosis creates a comfortably soft bed for your feet and provides durable cushioning thanks to its specially developed polyurethane-based soft foam pad. The material is viscoelastic, which means your feet will mold the orthosis into a comfortable shape while you wear it. Its main advantage, however, is its shape retention: the foam always returns to its original shape without manipulation. Exceptionally lightweight viscoelastic foam Thermo-formable reinforcement element to support the longitudinal arch Perfect combination of comfortable cushioning and stabilization Conically contoured on the shoe side, making it easier to adapt the blank to the shape of the shoe The structure on the underside of the foot orthosis makes it quick and easy to grind The foot orthosis can be modified according to customer requirements (the height of the outer or inner edge can be increased, differences in leg lengths can be evened out, and targeted pressure relief can be applied to the forefoot) Belt grinding (grain size ), polishing brush on the blade disk When modifying the version without a top cover, we recommend that you apply a top cover, e.g. made from microfiber or leather. The material s ability to retain its shape ensures consistent cushioning without permanent deformation Easy to glue (standard workshop adhesives) Thermo-formable (hot air blower up to 120 C or oven at around 90 C; 5 mins.) Patients with diabetes can develop conditions such as diabetic foot syndrome, the main symptoms of which are sensory disturbances and impaired blood flow. This condition makes the feet susceptible to wounds, infections, or ulcers caused by mechanical forces. The Soft Diabetes orthosis ensures that body weight is evenly distributed, cushions specific plantar pressure peaks, provides orthopedically effective support, and relieves the strain on sensitive feet. This version can also be used in cases of rheumatoid foot deformities. Anatomically contoured orthosis with an elongated shape and reinforcement in the metatarsal area: - Base layer made from TECmoll/TEClast (35 /45 Shore A, thermo-formable, 3 mm thick) - Coated cushion layer (Poron, TECfom, Globofit, 7.5 mm thick) The integrated reinforcement element provides enhanced wearing comfort, stability, and security The multi-layered structure ensures that body weight and pressure exerted by the body are evenly distributed Also available in an unbonded version (with a separate cushion layer and base layer) Soft Diabetes ** Soft Diabetes, separate top layer ** ViscoPed In the event of sole pain (plantar pressure pain) or deformities of the forefoot and toes, the ViscoPed distributes and reduces local pressure loads. This long-sole, viscoelastic foot orthosis cushions the pressure loads in the ankle, knee, hip, and spine. It also relieves painful irritation in the heel area.

5 8 SOLUTIONS FOR CHILDREN S FEET SOLUTIONS FOR THE HEEL 9 GloboTec Junior ErgoPad redux heel 2 RELIEF CORE The GloboTec Junior supports and corrects the position of the foot inside the shoe. Special exercises help to build up strength in the foot muscles in the long term. Where possible, regular exercises should be incorporated into a child s daily routine in a fun way. To help ensure a child s healthy and problem-free development, you sometimes need small aids with a big impact. The GloboTec Junior foot orthosis supports children s feet while they are growing. In cases of planovalgus foot, it supports the longitudinal arch, thus realigning the heel and improving the position of the foot. This promotes a natural and healthy sequence of movement. The foot orthoses should be checked regularly to ensure that they fit correctly. The flat and flexible ErgoPad redux heel 2 foot orthosis reduces acute heel pain and combats the causes of pain.

8 14 SOLUTIONS FOR SPORT SOLUTIONS FOR SPORT 15 ErgoPad sports WEIGHTFLEX TRIactive POWERWAVE These special sports orthoses are used to prevent and treat problems caused by sporting activity, such as (mild to pronounced) arch decreased/splay foot or mild pes cavus/high-arched foot. These orthoses reduce muscle fatigue and minimize load peaks when making contact with the ground during sporting activities. The orthotic core with weightflex technology provides increased flexibility, which guarantees optimum adaptation to the pressure loads and movement sequences involved in particular sports. ErgoPad ski & skate The constant tilting movements and changing pressure loads associated with many winter sports put particular strain on the feet and joints. The ErgoPad ski & skate foot orthosis is specially designed to cope with these demands. The heel cup guides the hindfoot, thus stabilizing the ankle, while additional sensorimotor spots stimulate and strengthen the foot muscles. This three-zone foot orthosis is specially designed for sporty and active people. Thanks to the PowerWave vertical cushion layer technology (specific arrangement of functional cushions of various degrees of density), the foot orthosis enables sportspecific cushioning and guidance of the feet. This can delay muscular fatigue and alleviate strain injuries, protecting the locomotor and musculoskeletal system. Premium soft foam foot orthosis made from high-quality EVA with metatarsal pad Sport-specific guidance, support, and cushioning zones arranged adjacent to one another (no sandwich construction) Patented three-dimensional, non-irritating connections between the material zones PowerWave technology Supports the foot arches Can be adapted to suit a wide range of foot proportions and shoe shapes TRIactive play standard shoe shape only ErgoPad ball & racket This foot orthosis supports the foot during the quick stops and turns that are typical of tennis and other racket sports. The heel cup stabilizes the hindfoot and ankle. The slightly raised section under the little toe stretches it, thereby increasing the contact surface between the foot and the shoe for better control. THE TRIACTIVE IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING VERSIONS: ErgoPad run & walk The slightly raised heel cup on this foot orthosis guides and stabilizes the foot during typical movements involved in running or hiking or when walking in general. With its cushioning in the forefoot and hindfoot areas, it effectively absorbs the constant impact caused when the heel strikes the ground and the toes push off.
